Will this cantaloupe fully grow before it gets too cold (for a cantaloupe)? Will this pumpkin plant? We'll find out!

Saw @luceromusic.com last night. Crazy that I've been going to their shows since I was 16. I'm 38 now.

"When I arrived. I saw there in the area of the school vard, it was completely covered in body parts of the children- students who had only their hands left their legs, their heads, their fingers,' recalled Maiid Dadania of the Red Crescent Emergency Response team. "I was frozen. I couldn't start working. Even though I was part of the rescue crew, my arms and legs went numb until I snapped out of it and started collecting the body parts of the martyrs--the children who were in pieces."

"During the initial moments, we were
wearing masks and gloves for safety but after one or two hours we couldn't even use any masks or qloves because the ives of these dear children were so important to us that gloves and masks no longer mattered," said Mehran Zakeri chief of the Minab fire department "When we removed the remains of the martyrs, we had pieces of these dear martyred students' brains under our fingernails--we had to remove their brains from under our fingernails," he recalled. "The next day when I went to take a shower, I had to cut my fingernails because the brain matter couldn't easily be removed. Our clothes were all ripped to shreds and pieces of the students and teachers' remains were stuck to our
clothes."

Definitely could be worse that the hottest day in Beech Mountain in 13 years is like the same as the low temperature in Raleigh for the rest of the week. For real though, 83 is going to be miserable. I swear the sun is stronger here than at home.

Kehinde Wiley - Judith and Holofernes (2012). NC Museum of Art.

A large-scale oil painting featuring a powerful Black woman (Judith) standing in the center against a vibrant, ornate floral background. She is barefoot and wears a floor-length navy blue gown with a thick brown leather belt. Her hair is styled in a tall, intricate bun on top of her head. She looks directly at the viewer with a stern, confident expression while holding the severed head of a White woman (representing Holofernes) by the hair in one hand and the hilt of a gold sword in the other.

Absurd number of Philadelphians & Philly sports fans though. We're all wearing Philly sports hats & people keep stopping us to say, "Go Flyers/Sixers/Phillies!" Very cool. Everyone is surprised we're from NC & not Philly, though. #Philadelphia #PhillySports #Sixers #Flyers #Phillies

I think I could see the Aurora Borealis (a little bit) last night in Raleigh. Regardless, the stars looked cool as fuck in my backyard. It's amazing to live in a city and still be able to see the stars like this.

A little bit of pink from the Aurora Borealis. Also lots of stars and planets visible.
